ZoneMinder is a web/net cam web-server-stack web application to create streams of video for security feeds. ZoneMinder supports motion logging, zooming, and other DVR functions.

Installation

Configuration

ZoneMinder's configuration files are located @ /etc/conf.d/zoneminder & /etc/zm.conf.

   /etc/zm.conf - Set db password in ZoneMinder configs.

Database

MySQL

ZoneMinder requires a database to run. dev-db/mysql and its equivalent alternatives will suffice.

root # mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database zm;
mysql> \q

Deploy ZoneMinder's database settings:

root # mysql -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

Create a database user for ZoneMinder to use. Make sure the /etc/zm.conf zm db user & zm db pass settings match the users, and passwords here.

root # mysql -u root -p
mysql> use zm;
mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'changeme';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> \q

Init

To start the ZoneMinder service:

root # rc-update add zoneminder
root # rc

Web Interface

The ZoneMinder web interface can be viewed @ http://127.0.0.1/zm/index.php

If you're having problems serving this webapp via php-fpm:

root # ln -s /usr/share/zoneminder/www/ /var/www/localhost/htdocs/zoneminder

and instead view the cms @ http://127.0.0.1/zoneminder/index.php

Mobile Web Interface

To the top right of ZoneMinder's web interface click options. Select the display tab. Change ZM_SKIN to mobile, and hit save.

To revert the changes visit your install and instead of index.php use index.php?skin=classic

ZoneMinder is skinable, funtoo suggests using a bootstrap skin instead.

Adding Cameras

To the bottom left select "add new monitor." In the window that pops up, to the top right are probe & presets. Any further configuration settings that are required are probably listed in the hardware compatibility list.
